How it all began...
Homeopathy
was developed about 200 years ago by Dr. Samuel Hahnemann,
a German physician who was practicing medicine in the
18th century until he discovered, quite by accident,
that by his ingesting repeated doses of Chinchona bark
(to test Cullens theory on the effectiveness of China
in treating Malaria) he would develop the symptoms of
malaria, which the bark was used to treat. This was
the first homeopathic proving, and the discovery of
the first law of homeopathy: Similia similibus curentur,
or "like cures like".
.At that time, homeopathy was warmly embraced by some
practitioners as a more humane alternative.

In
1810, Hahnemann published the first of six editions
of The Organon which clearly defined his homeopathic
philosophy. In the same year, 80,000 men were killed
when Napoleon attacked Leipzig. Hahnemann's homeopathic
treatment of the survivors, and also of the victims
of the great typhus epidemic that followed the siege,
was highly successful and further spread his, and
homeopathy's, reputation. Hahnemann taught at the
Leipzig University.
By 1821 Hahnemann published his Materia Medica Pura
in six volumes.
In 1831, Cholera swept through Central Europe. Hahnemann
published papers on the homeopathic treatment of the
disease and set off the first widespread usage of
homeopathy which had a much higher cure rate than
allopathy.
